ORGANIC PURE COCONUT SUGAR
Best sweetener alternative with low Glycemix IndexThe Most Popular Organic Pure Coconut Sugar
The sun is shining, the day is bright and the coconut trees are flowing their best nectars to make Nirasatria’s most popular sweetener product, Organic Pure Coconut Sugar. This coconut sugar has gone through a sorting process since the time of harvest through an assessment of the quality of the liquid sap. This delicate cooking process requires skill and attention from farmers so as not to lose the quality of the juice due to overcooking or other mishandling. Quality and consistency, in every batch.
Nirasatria’s Organic Pure Coconut Sugar originates from the lush Javanese landscape of the Indonesian archipelago. It pays tribute to the region’s proud farming heritage and integrates this with modern standards of quality control. Our sugar made from coconut flowers is a delicious and healthy alternative to cane sugar. It has a candy-like taste, comes from natural organic ingredients, goes through minimal processing, and has not gone through the filter process.

Health Benefits of Organic Pure Coconut Sugar
Coconut sugar offers a myriad of health benefits, especially when compared to something like white cane sugar. Some of these benefits include:
- A lower impact on blood sugar levels (coconut sugar ranks just 35 on the glycemic index), is a suitable alternative for diabetics.
- Higher amounts of vitamin C, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, and copper.
- Low fructose alternative (more suitable for those with sensitivities).
- Contains phytonutrients, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants (anti-aging properties).
- Contains the B vitamin inositol, often used as a mood booster.
How Organic Pure Coconut Sugar is Made
Neera, coconut flower nectar sap always blooms twice a day and our coconut farmers harvest twice a day. Farmers climb the coconut palms and collect the sugar blossom nectar by gently slicing the flower. After every harvest, we transfer the nectar to the kettle. The evaporation process lowers the moisture content of the nectar before we allow it to harden into dense nectar “bricks”. We then boil the nectar juice until it thickens and changes color from clear to brown, then goes through a granulation process by hand and then according to specifications. See more about how it’s made below.
Common Misconception
Coconut sugar is sometimes difficult for many people to distinguish from Brown Sugar, Palm, or Arenga by the naked eye. Arenga sugar is another type of sweetener that derives from a different kind of palm tree (Arenga Pinnata) and yields a very distinctly different product. Arenga wears a much darker brown color, sometimes appearing black-tinted (thus its common name in some places, ‘Black Sugar Palm’); coconut sugar owns a brown that ranges from bright yellow to reddish-brown.
In aroma, coconut sugar also displays caramel aroma notes not found in Arenga Sugar. The same caramel notes in sweetness are found in coconut sugar that is not found in Arenga sugar.
Application
Our coconut sugars come in soft granulate form that gives the most convenience in food application. They dilute and melt easily, and are not easy to burn. No more sugar cane caramel failures! Coconut caramel guarantees cooking success while keeping the blood sugar low.
